Cool, now let me start an ephemeral v3 onion service from JS and have it reachable via WebRTC by a peer who has their own. It's the perfect tech marriage, removes signalling servers and NAT busters, but may be a bit taxing on directory servers and too slow to use for media streams (but I'll take data channels only).
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoI know some of those words. (I'm an embedded programmer)
- Hello71 8y agosounds really useful, but to be fair, it doesn't really remove either. you're effectively just using the Tor network as freely available (but slow) signalling and TURN servers.
- kodablah 8y agoExactly. Doesn't require any server side work and you get built in anonymity across peers and for discovery.
- floatboth 8y agoHah, kinda reminds me of Opera Unite. (That one wasn't from JS, it offered some fixed applications like file hosting, notes, etc., but it was hosting stuff from the browser)
- gsnedders 8y agoUnite allowed server-side JavaScript (though I forget how many privileged APIs there were), but I don't think you could support custom protocols.
